Uncovering the truth: British army’s Pyrrhic victory at the Battle of Lexington

Lexington (who won)

British

The Battle of Lexington during the American Revolution, the answer is the British army won the battle. On April 19, 1775, British troops marched from Boston to Lexington and Concord to seize and destroy military supplies and equipment stored by the American colonists. However, a group of volunteer militiamen confronted them at Lexington. Although the colonists stood their ground, the British army outnumbered them and eventually fired upon them. As a result, a few militiamen died, some were wounded, and the rest fled. The British army then marched to Concord, where they encountered more resistance and were forced to retreat back to Boston. While Lexington was technically a British victory, it was a Pyrrhic one, as it further emboldened the colonists to fight against British tyranny and ultimately led to America’s independence.
